Trivia[]
- Despite the title, 30 Years of WrestleMania only goes up to WrestleMania 29.
- Unlike the other Legends who can be unlocked after defeating them in 30 Years of WrestleMania, Ultimate Warrior is the only one who is not unlocked after defeating him as he was only available via a DLC.
- The game features a streak mode where the player can choose to either defend or break the Undertaker's streak.
